No sitting in a classroom based on other peoples schedules. Your knowledge development is via the SSI premier digital course that is simply the best of any training agency. After working the six sessions your online final exam requires a 80% or better. Meanwhile we will schedule your pool sessions that take approximately 8 hours or more with other students and your instructor(s). Then you will complete a weekend of open water dive training where you will demonstrate mastery of the skills you learned in the pool.
